Thank you for your comment and your enduring support. We have several issues in the pipeline:(i) We'd like to progress on the data reporting.(ii) We'd like to visualise the networks but haven't decided on the technology yet. We did a dataviz project at Neue Zürcher Zeitung, pls have a look here http://www.nzz.ch/schweiz/die-daten-hinter-der-visualisierung-1.18255344(iii) We'd like to offer the page in different languages.

Hi,Thanks to make this project alive, I think we need it.Will it be a French, Italian and English version of the site ?What technology will you use to make the implementation of data visualization of the networks ? This is something very interesting. I think lobby is already a good start, but the link between the industry, the politicians and the people are not always very clear and straightforward, and visualization tools could really help. This should reveal big nodes..... and points where the real power lies.It could be very interesting also to be able to reproduce/introduce the same informations for the lower levels (cantons and cities).Thanks
